Install vCMA in VMware Workstation?

I would like to install vCMA for iPad vSphere client demo purposes on my laptop. Two questions:
Is vCMA 64-bit?
Can I run vCMA as a VMware Workstation VM (not as an appliance in ESXi)?
When I try to import the OVF into Workstation is gives me a bad descriptor error.
-MattG

Hi Matt,
Apparently, current vCMA is based on CentOS 5.2 32-bit . Check with "cat /etc/issue" and "uname -a" .
It should run fine on a Workstation or even Player as long as it can access your ESX or vCenter through the network.
I simply downloaded the Zip file, uncompressed and opened it without any issue.
Good luck.
Regards
Franck

Install vmware-workstation-7.0.0 with kernel26-2.6.32 walkthrough

For anyone who need some help, and the same way I did with version 6.5.3 (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=88103), I post here my install walkthrough for vmware-workstation-7.0.0.
There are only a few differences.
Vmware package and kernel:
- VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.i386.bundle
- kernel26-2.6.32.1-1
1. As root, cd to the directory where is VMware-Workstation and follow these steps:
[root@hp]# mkdir -p /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/{rc{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.d,init.d}
[root@hp]# shVMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.i386.bundle --console --custom
2. Read and accept EULA and go on.
3. Then press enter to all answers except "System service runlevels", where you must enter /etc/rc.d/vmware/, like in the example:
Do you agree? [yes/no]: yes
System path prefix. Please note that choosing a path other than /usr
may result in missing icons, application launchers, and other desktop
integrations [/usr]:
System lib directory [/usr/lib]:
Architecture-independent files [/usr/share]:
User level binaries [/usr/bin]:
Super user level binaries [/usr/sbin]:
Documentation [/usr/share/doc]:
Manual pages [/usr/share/man]:
Header files [/usr/include]:
System configuration files [/etc]:
System service runlevels: /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/ <<--------------------------------
System service scripts [/etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d]:
Path to Eclipse directory for use with Integrated Virtual Debugger
(optional):
The product is ready to be installed. Press enter to begin
installation or Ctrl-C to cancel.
4. After installation is done, you must substitute /sbin/lsmod with /bin/lsmod in the file /etc/rc.d/vmware/init.d/vmware with your favorite editor, or use this command instead:
[root@hp]# sed -i 's/\/sbin\/lsmod/\/bin\/lsmod/g' /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d/vmware
5. Now create a link to the init script, inthe place where Arch can recognize it:
[root@hp]# ln -s /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d/vmware /etc/rc.d/vmware
6. Then with your favorite editor, include "vmware" to DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf to allow vmware modules to load while computer boots:
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng ... ... vmware)
7. Now exit from root and become normal user again. Then run vmware command and test it.
[memyselfandi@hp]$ vmware
That's all!

Wow, thank you very much!! Your incredible guide help me installing VMware 7.01 in a snap, you're the king =D
I think there should be a section like "Application instalation guides" with all guides like this.
The question now is how to install VMware Tools into an Arch guest (currently using KDE SC).
I'm investigating that right now...

Vmware workstation 6.5.3 64bit Install problems

I'm having trouble installing the official Vmware Workstation 6.5.3 64bit bundle from vmware.com. The install always hangs at the Vmware Player configuration.
I've tried both the graphical install, using:
kdesu sh VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.x86_64.bundle
and from the command line:
# sh VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.x86_64.bundle --custom --console
I see no error messages, and the installers stop at the same place in both instances (configuring Vmware Player). The command line version reports the install to stop at 62%. I've left the install run while I was at work (all day), and nothing changed.
When I kill the installer using xkill or killall, I am able to use Player (although I can't run any vms in it), but workstation itself is not installed (I have no /usr/bin/vmware binary).
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using kernel 2.6.30-ARCH. I cannot patch the modules because the install does not complete, before you ask.
Thank you.

My vmware install logs don't really help here but they do show where it trails off into oblivion:

NIS on solaris9- vmware workstation-

Hi Admins,
I just have a doubt on NIS that, is it possible to run NIS on vmware workstation running more than 1 solaris instances.
i.e. can we setup one solaris instance as master and others as slaves...??
I have vista on my laptop. I am concern about the domain name it will ask while doing setup...
I am using dhcp on all solaris 10 instances..
Please advise.

Hi,
I have never tried to install XI on VMware Workstation, but I did on VMware Server.
We had a Database Load Problem, too. Finally we found out that it is important that the Server Name is written in small letters.
VMware Templates always change it to capital letters, so you have to make some changes in the registry.
We run quite a lot XI Test Servers on VMware.

Not able to install server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .

Dear Team,
Thanks in advance.
I am facing an issue when installing server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .
This is the error message i get ''windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
i have tried changing the initial install option of OS to ''other''. But still its the same.
Finally i have installed it without adding the OS disk in the initial setup. But the problem here is that its asking me activation key.
if you have the activation key for 180 days please let me know.

I have the same problem here.
With VMWare Workstation 10, downloading and using the Windows 2012 R2 ISO evaluation to test.
Shortly after booting up with the ISO, it complains about this message: ''windows cannot find the microsoft software
license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
BUT, if you uninstall VMWare Workstation 10 and install VMWare Workstation 9, no problem.
Something wrong with either VMWare Workstation 10 or Windows 2012 R2.

You want to install AD on an Internet Server?
According to your description your server has one public IP-address and
no internal IP-address and you want to install AD on this Internet
server?? Is that correct??
Can you tell us the intended use of this server. Do you want to host
services on this server, which need AD authentication?
If you have a second NIC and your DC is on another local machine I
would not expose your local AD on an public accessible server. If this
server shall become a DC it should not have more than one IP-address.
If you want to access data on this server via Internet securely I would
recommend a VPN solution - preferably not running on the server itself
but on a separate firewall between the server and the internet. In this
case I would have no see a big security problem running AD on this
server.

Lot of troubles (impossible) installing Solaris 10 on VMware Workstation 6

Hi, i'm experiencing troubles trying to install Solaris 10 x_86 (the last release) on VMware Workstation 6.
During the creation of the virtual machine I selected Solaris 64bit (I'm running an Intel Core2Duo CPU), selected the first ISO image and boot up the virtual machine. The installation of the first cd went just fine.
During the installation of the second cd, at a certain percent (sometimes ~50%, or later) the virtual machine reboots: I select the first choice on grub menu, but Solaris tolds me that something about the root repository (I don't remember well) is out of sync, and suggest me to reboot in failsafe mode and repair it; I did it and reboot...Doing this way I installed the second cd, but for the third (it happened the same -reboot- problem) it didn't work:
after fixed the repository in failsafe mode, and after reboot it doesn't start the installer, and shows this message:
http://img469.imageshack.us/my.php?image=solarishangsoi3.png
Please help me! I don't really know where/what I'm doing wrong...
Thanks really a lot for any help.
Regards
Gabriele

Simply Great, I had to Reboot the OS and I went to Failsafe mode where it went to single user mode and ask to update boot_archive, that worked.
When i Shutdown and Rebooted the System i could see system booting nicely and then it gave me bunch of Errors.
I think i will go and Do a Fresh Install again :(

Installing vmware-workstation-6.5.3 with kernel26-2.6.32 walkthrough

I changed my Fedora 10 laptop to Archlinux 2 weeks ago (and I'm loving it).
So, I also had to move my vmware-workstation-6.5.3 to my new distro, and also all my virtual machines.
I followed the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_VMware) but until I had a working vmware, I had to do something different from the instructions.
So, I post here my walkthrough, if someone needs it.
Vmware package and kernel:
- VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.i386.bundle.
- kernel26-2.6.32.1-1
1. As root cd to the directory where is VMware-Workstation and follow these steps:
[root@hp]# mkdir -p /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/{rc{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.d,init.d}
[root@hp]# export VMWARE_SKIP_MODULES=true
[root@hp]# sh VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.i386.bundle --console --custom
2. Read and accept EULA and go on.
3. Then press enter to all answers except "System service runlevels", where you must enter /etc/rc.d/vmware/, like in the example:
Do you agree? [yes/no]: yes
System path prefix. Please note that choosing a path other than /usr
may result in missing icons, application launchers, and other desktop
integrations [/usr]:
System lib directory [/usr/lib]:
Architecture-independent files [/usr/share]:
User level binaries [/usr/bin]:
Super user level binaries [/usr/sbin]:
Documentation [/usr/share/doc]:
Manual pages [/usr/share/man]:
Header files [/usr/include]:
System configuration files [/etc]:
System service runlevels: /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/ <<--------------------------------
System service scripts [/etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d]:
Path to Eclipse directory for use with Integrated Virtual Debugger
(optional):
The product is ready to be installed. Press enter to begin
installation or Ctrl-C to cancel.
4. Now exit from root and become normal user again. Then run vmware command.
[memyselfandi@hp]$ vmware
It asks to compile modules and you must press de "_Install" button.
After some ERROR messages it asks you the root passord and then it starts to compile modules.
Finally it starts vmware.
5. You must close it again and do this as root:
[root@hp]# ln -s /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d/vmware /etc/rc.d/vmware
6. Then with your favorite editor, include "vmware" to DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf to allow vmware modules to load while computer boots:
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng ... ... vmware)
7. You must substitute /sbin/lsmod with /bin/lsmod in the file /etc/rc.d/vmware/init.d/vmware with your favorite editor or use this command instead:
[root@hp]# sed -i 's/\/sbin\/lsmod/\/bin\/lsmod/g' /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d/vmware
8. Restart vmware services and load modules with this command:
[root@hp]# /etc/rc.d/vmware restart
9. There is a common mouse problem (it loses focus outside VGA area 640x480) because of GTK+ new version. To avoid this issue, add this line to the end of "/etc/vmware/bootstrap":
# /etc/vmware/bootstrap
export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes
10. Now you can start as normal user:
[memyselfandi@hp]$ vmware
Or in the gnome menu "System Tools" --> "VMware Workstation"
I didn't experiment any problems with keycodes. I don't know, but they seem to be solved in 6.5.3 version(?)
Hope this help someone!

Hi,
while installing CUCM 9.0.1.1000-37 on Vmware Workstation 8.0 m getting default gateway name/address is invalid or gateway is not properly configured. Can any1 help me to get out of this issue.
Want to install CUCM 9.0 on Vmware Workstation 8.0..

Er... is there a chance your network is not properly configured? Can you please shed some light on the details of your network?
By the way, I doubt that CUCM would ever be able to start up in VMWare Workstation.
